Find task GUID of existing task with QMS API (QlikView Management API)

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

I'm trying to use the QMS API to identify an existing task and put it into a DocumentTask object so I can modify the fields and save it. I don't know how to retrieve the GUID of the task if it has been created outside the API and is simply residing in the QMC(management console). In the QMS API documentation the example for saving/getting a DocumentTask shows the GUID being hardcoded in, so I am not sure where to find this hardcoded value for my application.

Example

Guid documentTaskId = new Guid("e95ecd5a-683d-1d33-26bf-66e94ff08223");
DocumentTask documentTask = apiClient.GetDocumentTask(documentTaskId, DocumentTaskScope.All);

Ah, I did not know about the GetTasks method inside of the IQMS client object. I was able to retrieve all tasks from the service and find the one I was looking for by matching the task name.
